Dimensions, tolerances and assemblies
Tolerances
Unilateral
allowed to vary in only one direction
Limit
the upper and lower limits of the dimension are specified
Bilateral
allowed to vary in two directions from the specified dimension.
Upper tolerance - lower tolerance
Dimensions
Parallel
consists of several dimensions originating from a common reference surface
Superimposed running
simplifies parallel dimensions in order to reduce the space used on a drawing
Chain
only be used if function of the object would not be affected by the accumulation of the tolerances
Combined
Chain + parallel
Dimensioning Small Features
arrow heads can be placed outside the extension line
Dimensioning of Multiple Features
(Number) x dimensions
Radius
Radius -> R
Circle, Arc and hole
Circle: dimensioned by diameter
arc: dimensioned by radius.
hole: dimensioned by centrelines
Angles
marked with curved dimension lines
Clearance and interference fit
Allowance for two parts to move
it would be difficult to move (or remove) the two interfacing parts. Usually, a lot of force is needed to remove the two parts. Examples are shafts that are fitted through bearings, so that the shaft does not slip.
Types of joints in fusion 360
Slider
single translational degree of freedom. It is used for components that slide along one another.
Cylindrical
provides two degrees of freedom: one translational and one rotational
Rigid
fixes two components to one another. It provides no degrees of freedom.
Revolute
single rotational degree of freedom
Pin Slot
allows two degrees of freedom, but components can rotate around different axes
Planar
allows three degrees of freedom. It allows two directions of translation in a plane and a single rotational direction normal to that plane
Ball
two degrees of rotational freedom: pitch and yaw. Pitch allows components to rotate around the Z axis. Yaw rotates components around the X axis.
